Umesh, Did you find out if Ratan Tata is gay or not? Rumours abound you know!

She is Cambridge educated (non degree programs) . He is Harvard Bus. School graduate (AMP pogram). Her son (older than me) attended Harvard and did not fail in any subject though had to leave without a degree . so there is a connection between Ratan and Sonia already. Both are of same age. I think you are promoting child marriage by suggesting my name. Her children are older than me. Umesh PS: If her name had become Sonia Gandhi-Maino-Tata her chances of becoming Congress president would have been nil --since Gandhi family is always highlighted (not Mahatma Gandhi's family) in Congress posters. mc mahant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: She might say"He Stinks" He might say"She is Foren" So You Go.

Shouldn't Sonia Gandhi (India's shadow CEO) show by example that she she believes in widow remarriage (for herself) and shouldn't Indian President Abdul Kalam and ex-Prime Minister Vajpayee (both long standing bachelors) woo her . Umesh umesh sharma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: the lest two movies I saw were Sins and Water -- both on female exploitation and based on real situations. Sins was banned after Catholic priests wen to court. Water was sought to be banned by Hindu bodies . I assume either group had seen the movies before agitating for it. Same with Da Vinchi Code ban in many NE and South Indian states due to Christian groups. However, the only good movie on the theme of widows I saw -was DOR (thread) a 2006 production - based in current times. The widow reminded me of my college going students in India -before she became widowed and made me wonder if any of them can face similar travails -which is unlikely since they are all well educated and aware. http://www.apunkachoice.com/movies/mov703/ my landlord has a single mother from his home state Kerala (now a Canadian) visiting him this weekend but he thinks his parents won't agree. Total disregard for parents wishes is not a problem for me, though -as I have proven time and again :-) If anyone wants to watch the above mentioned movies - only Sins is in English -but others can be followed by scenes (and if you have read the storyline in advance). I watch Malayalee and Spanish and Chinese movies -like that many times -without sub titles. Umesh PS: I wonder why Sonia Gandhi - India's Cleopetra is still a widow . Why hasn't anyone proposed to her? Isn't she attractive enough? How about some well placed NRI techie? Will her political image be adversely affected if she got married? Jackie married twice after John F Kennedy died . umesh sharma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: some may find it in relevant context. I spent the whole day (and night) yesterday watching Indian movies (some have English subtitles -like Bandit Queen , others are totally in English --like Sins --both are real stories --some are about Indians abroad -in English ) An AssamNet member had recommended the website www.bwcinema.com which charges $3.99 (Rs 180) for unlimited number of Indian movies for 3 days. In one day I have seen more than 10 movies -some by fastforwarding and gathering the meaning from the storyline.

Smart work by the woman Yesterday I saw a movie on a woman being sold in an Indian village - a real story of a woman called Devaki. I saw it on www.bwcinema.com Umesh [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Many years ago in a small Indian village, a farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful daughter. So he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the proposal. So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let providence decide the matter. He told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty bag.Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag. 1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven. 2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven. 3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail. They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to pick a pebble from the bag. Now, imagine that you were standing in the field. What would you have done if you were the girl? If you had to advise her, what would you have told her? Careful analysis would produce three possibilities: 1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble. 2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose the money-lender as a cheat. 3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order to save her father from his debt and imprisonment. Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral and logical thinking. The ga l's dilemma cannot be solved with traditional logical thinking. Think of the consequences if she chooses the above logical answers. What would you recommend to the Gal to do? .... C below!! Well, here is what she did .... The g al put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it, C fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles. "Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked." Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had picked the white one. And since the money-lender dared not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an extremely advantageous one. MORAL OF THE STORY: Most complex problems do have a solution. It is only that we don't attempt to think NT000 Umesh Sharma 5121 Lackawanna ST College Park, (Washington D.C.
